The University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven offers more than 20 Diploma, Bachelor and Master Degree programs in the fields of Maritime Engineering and Technology, Life Science, Business, and Information Technologies. Currently, there are 3200 students from sixty-six nations enrolled at the “University by the Sea”. The broad range of study programs spans two major departments comprising four areas of interest

Energy and Marine Technology

Life Science

Logistics and Services

Information and Communication Technologies and Automation

Taking advantage of the unique location, the "University by the Sea" has clearly distinguished itself through its pronounced maritime profile as well as its consequent focus on regional economic aspects. The diverse offer of study programs enables the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven to meet the specific demands of potential employers regionally and transregionally.

Bachelor programs include:

Biotechnology of Marine Resources

Building Energy Technology

Business Management

Business Informatics

Computer Sciences

Cruise Tourism Management

Digital Media Production

Food Technology / Food Economics

Sustainable Energy and Environmental Technologies

Transport Engineering / Logistics

Master study programs include:

Biotechnology

Digitization, Innovation and Information Management

Embedded Systems Design

Integrated Safety and Security Management

Logistics Engineering and Management

Process Engineering and Energy Technology

Wind Energy Technology

The study programs in Maritime Technologies, Sustainable Energy and Environmental Technologies and Food Technology / Food Management are part of the bachelor degree programs with focus on process engineering. The knowledge acquired in the bachelor program can then be deepened and expanded in our international master degree program Process Engineering and Energy Technology that is likewise offered at the University of Applied Science Bremerhaven.

Maritime Technologies

Maritime Technologies provides students with an understanding of the oceans as the most important economic resource that simultaneously empower the development and use of high technology. Moreover, the course of studies deals here not only with the sea as an energy source, e.g. offshore wind turbines or undersea methane sources, but also as a space for the cultivation of aquatic organisms and with biological processes as a model for bioprocessing techniques.

Sustainable energy and environmental technologies as well as process engineering and energy technology are course programs that deal with materials conversion technology such as, the conversion of biomass to methane or crude oil into gasoline. The focus here is on generating sustainable energy and environmentally friendly energy technology. Important components of the course are exhaust gas purification, waste prevention and recycling.

food technology / food processing

The degree program food technology / food processing is a combination of a natural and ingenious science education combined with business administration. This combination enables students to learn about both the processes of food production and processing as well as possible reactions to changes in the market and consumer habits.

The Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences is a state funded university in the north of Germany. The university’s unique maritime profile was not only established because of its geographic location at the mouth of the Weser at the North Sea, but also through its innovative, modern maritime-oriented course work and degree programs.

The Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1975. Following the predecessor institutions Geestemünde Navigation School and the Municipal Technical College, which were already in existence at the end of the 19th century, the university looks back at a hundred years of history in education and training.

More than 3000 students from sixty-six nations are currently studying at the "University by the Sea" in over twenty-two technical, scientific and business sciences diploma, bachelor's and master's degree programs. The study spectrum now spans two major departments comprising four areas of interest:

Energy and marine technology

Life Science

Logistics and services

Information and communication technologies and automation

Detailed information on the course programs and further training opportunities can be found on the university website https://www.hs-bremerhaven.de/studienangebot/ and in the service descriptions.

Teaching takes place in small team-oriented lectures that are consolidated with industrial and research projects. Due to its location, the university can rely on strong partners in the regional economy and thus pave the way for its graduates to an optimal start into their professional careers.

The University In research and development has been setting accents through the work of its own institutes as well as its cooperation with institutes outside the university. Additional expertise and a continually updated content of the studies are guaranteed through cooperation with leading research institutes such as the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research or the university’s Research Institute for Windenergy “fk wind”.

Noteworthy is that the Research Institute for Windenergy “fk wind” is only one of the many institutes that is directed and managed by the University of Applied Science Bremerhaven. For example, the Institute of Process Engineering (IVT), (Institut für Verfahrenstechnik) carries out commission research and consultancy for the relevant industry and trade in addition to its own research activities. Since 2013, the institute has been supporting partners in the industry assisting in finding solutions for various basic operators in process engineering. At the IVT, these fields are dealt with through research and technology transfer. For this purpose, professors, scientific and technical staff, as well as students, are provided a technical center. Experimental and theoretical work is done with commercial CAPE tools. National and international collaborations in application-oriented research projects enable work in multicultural and multidisciplinary teams. The aim is to improve existing processes or to develop future-oriented new processes taking into account ecological and economic sustainability.
